The 3D printing technology, as it has gained momentum in recent years, bodes well for entrepreneurship. To that end, let’s talk about some industries that have derived from 3D printing, which, more or less, might deliver some enlightening ideas. Let’s just dive in.

▲ The Prototype Board Industry

In the earlier years of the surge of 3D technology, the prototype board industry was blessed and was the one who took the first bite of the fruition. We know that every single product we use in our daily application should be produced by design, prototype making, and then precise adjustment.

Before the popularization of 3D technology, the prototype was initially made by hand. Then came the CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines, or CNC engraving machines, which replaced manual production. Nowadays, upon 3D technology’s popularity, 3D printers gradually steal the thunder of CNC and take the lead.

#CNC Machine

With the promising capability of fast modeling and more complex building, 3D printers surely prevail when they are pitted against CNC machines.

For the prototype board industry, the main client source should be industrial design companies, modeling companies, and large light industrial factories, such as toy factories and electrical factories.

▲ 3D Printed Portrait Figure Service

What advancing technology brings to us is not only the convenience of our life but in a further probe, also the most inner touch of our spirit and soul. Some industries like 3D printed portrait figure services have gained popularity, applying for personalization, studios, travel classics, and even funerals.

Some studios are now offering wedding 3D portrait services for married couples, recording the sweet scenes of the couple in 3D form.

Meantime, the funeral service industry, with a human-centered approach, offers 3D printing services for the deceased. They print the mutilated parts of the deceased to leave them with a final dignity, and meanwhile, they offer the portrait figure printing service. In an even more innovative move, there is a funeral service company that has created a 3D-printed urn to simulate the deceased’s appearance in an utmost degree of imitation. With this technology, 3D printing can capture the slightest detail of a person’s facial characteristics as well as remove their “flawed” parts somehow caused by accident, in pursuing the most perfect side of their beloved ones.

#The 3D Printing Model of a Wedding Couple

▲ 3D Modeling Business

If you can use your printers to run a business. The modeling career could be your best choice specializing in the 3D printing business. You can cooperate with various modeling-making companies and produce the model for them. Model printing bears a wide range of selections, including architectural sand table models, aviation models, car models, toy models, graduation design models, sculpture models, etc.
A modeling company, with its 3D printing technology, possesses a rather promising prospect. With a specialized printer, it can turn every impossibility into a possibility nowadays.

▲ The Ever-lasting Market: Footwear Industry

The footwear industry, an eternal industry permeating the whole history of mankind, bears the broadest market ever. Meanwhile, the footwear industry will always come up with a model of its production process. According to an authorized footwear 3D printing institution, with the promising emergence of its 3D printing career, it will keep its surging status shortly.

▲ Small-scale Production

A small-scale 3D printing service should be the most common and easiest career for those who would love to gain benefits from their machines. Certain services are recommended: lantern ornaments, outermost shells of small appliances, creative mobile phone shells, trophies, and many other arts and crafts, etc, Why not start your business right now and earn yourself the extra coins?

3D printed trains set to run in the UK making UK rails 3D parts alliancing with Angel Trains, Stratasys, DB ESG and Chiltern Railways for the first time in the world. Why 3D printing came into the picture? Therefore, as we all know that Railway parts and components are produced with short-term production and not for the long run. The procurement of small components such as armrests, seating tables and other breakable components of 3 decades older trains is quite challenging. Even, if the railway department wants them to fix and wants to provide the passenger’s a comfortable journey there are lots of issues. May be overcome by

  • Require a lesser number of components
  • Production of required components may be stopped
  • Takes lots of time
  • Traditional methods are costly when comes to produce a lesser number of components
  • Can’t provide the rail operator with latest technology parts
  • Lesser number of labor can cut the production cost to around 50%

Benefits of 3D printing for UK rail department

3D Rail components - UK
3D printed rail components.

Deutsche Bahn Consultancy and Engineering service provider, Angel trains British rolling stock operating company, Stratasys is an American 3D printer manufacturer and lastly Chiltern Railways British train operating company their collaboration was first announced in December 2018 to produce 3D printed replacement parts for trains. As a result, UK has already announced becoming a world leader in the additive manufacturing sector by 2025.

Therefore, UK government has taken a step ahead by collaborating with these companies to manufacture passenger trains. The components such as armrests and grab handles using additive manufacturing 3D printing techniques. Hence, the company is looking for other applications, researching 3D printed seat tables and custom braille lettering  abnormal passenger’s

3D printing technology is well utilized in Rail companies for customization.  The 3D printed passenger train components are running successfully with seven grab handles that were produced within a 2 an half months and cutting the cost down from  £15,000.  Hence, the cost saving of 50% per part will be achievable.

The testing of other applications and research is carried out in 3D printed rail components. So, to provide a better journey for rail passenger’s in the future.

]]> NEW BALANCE’S 3D-PRINTED SHOES https://www.geeetech.com/blog/3d-printing-application/3d-printing-design/new-balances-latest-shoes-come-with-3d-printed-soles/ Tue, 09 Jul 2019 16:32:17 +0000 http://www.geeetech.com/blog/?p=9392  

3d printed soles are the best

IF YOU CURRENTLY own a pair of running shoes, the odds are that the midsole. The shock-absorbing layer between the inner and outer sole. Therefore, it is made from molded ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), which is squishy, resilient foam. Check out what’s better about 3D printed shoes.

As a cushioning material, EVA foam isn’t bad. It’s elastic, affordable, and can be dyed a variety of colors. But an EVA midsole offers the same degree of support throughout the shoe, and what you really want is different levels of support across different parts of the foot. Also, EVA breaks down and compresses with repeated use. So this degradation is the reason many runners replace their shoes every few hundred miles. For these reasons, shoe companies have been actively experimenting with materials to replace EVA.

Two years ago, running shoe giant New Balance teamed up with Somerville, Massachusetts–based 3D-printing company Formlabs to develop a new type of sole. Now the duo are debuting TripleCell, a footbed technology whose components are made of a proprietary photopolymer called Rebound Resin.

For its first shoe in this lineup, New Balance is re-releasing its classic 990 Sport with a TripleCell heel. The $185 runner is lighter, more supportive, and more durable than the EVA version. Two more performance-oriented models with TripleCell components will be arriving within the next year.
3d printed footwear

Rough and Tough 3D Printed Shoes

3D-printed shoes aren’t precisely a new idea. For example, Adidas has also begun developing similar automated 3D-printing facilities. That might allow customers to order digitally printed, personalized products.

But rather than focusing on the shoe’s appearance, New Balance decided to find ways to improve its performance. The company gave Formlabs a formidable list of properties the new material would be required to have.

“What you don’t think a lot about with footwear is the demand that we put on this midsole material,” says Katherine Petrecca. The general manager of New Balance’s Innovation Design Studio, in a phone interview.

“It has to last for several hundred miles of repeated impacts,” she says. “It has to work for a 110-pound female runner like Jenny Simpson and a 230-pound basketball player like Kawhi Leonard.

These things are going to be outside, it has to be stable for UV and hydrolysis … It has to be able to withstand heat tunnels in the manufacturing process and bond to all these other materials.”

Formlabs chief product officer Dávid Lakatos and his team went through hundreds of iterations with the formula to achieve the final product. Besides printability, two of the most important properties of the material were energy return and elasticity.

“[The design] has to be able to give back energy, to have a good feeling when you’re using them to run and walk,” Lakatos said in a phone interview. “[It] also has a 330 percent elongation before it breaks … We’ve learned more about how the dynamics of human anatomy work when walking on the surfaces than in almost any other industry.”

3D Printed footwear: Made in America

For New Balance, 3D printing has a number of other advantages besides providing highly detailed foot support. In general, footwear is a very inventory-heavy industry—for every style, you might need to make men’s and women’s versions in fifteen different sizes. Therefore, in several different colors, and each with many different tooled components.

Petrecca imagines that the ability to quickly print multiple designs on a single printer. Therefore, that will have a huge impact on New Balance’s ability to continue manufacturing parts of its shoes in the United States and the United Kingdom. The company is currently working with Formlabs to outfit a new manufacturing facility in Methuen, Massachusetts.

Scaling up won’t be easy; currently, the TripleCell 990 Sport is only available in a limited-edition run of 500 pairs. Right now, 3D printing is still a process that’s used mostly by product designers to create prototypes. Formlabs is working on developing a whole new market of reliable 3D printers. That can manufacture products reliably and consistently in greater numbers.

“One of the dirty secrets of 3D printing is that previous 3D-printing platforms have been extremely prone to failure,” says Lakatos. “Imagine if Apple bought a hundred CNC machines for machining the MacBook Pros, and how each one looked depended on which CNC machine was used. That would be completely unacceptable, obviously.”

While TripleCell pieces are currently being manufactured with Formlabs’ older machines. Both companies are currently developing a more powerful and higher-volume printer called the Form 3L. This new machine will leverage existing LFS technology but use a new light processing unit, which promises to offer greater speed and reliability.

 Shoe designs

Formlabs has pioneered the use of pliable, resilient photopolymers in 3D printing, via a process called low force stereolithography (LFS). Once a design is uploaded, the company’s Form printers draw highly intricate patterns in liquid Rebound Resin. Hence, which cures when the light hits it, resulting in a hardened 3D shape.

This process allows Formlabs to create a detailed lattice pattern in the sole. That lattice provides different levels of support to different parts of the foot, rather than using separate tooled components that are then glued together.

In the original 990 Sport’s heel, New Balance combined a polyurethane outer rim with an EVA midsole and thermoplastic polyurethane heel cradle. In the new version, the company has fused these three separate parts into one seamless, springy piece. “One of the things that’s really exciting for us is that it provides a very different experience for the runner,” says Petrecca. “It feels more like a resilient trampoline than foam.”

But that’s all in the future. For New Balance, the hope is that within the next few years, it will be able to sell a high-performance, customizable running shoe made almost entirely by digital manufacturing. “The sheer performance landscape that we’re going to be able to open up with 3D printing is exciting,” Petrecca says.

]]> 3D Printing Winter Olympics in 2018 plays a Heroic Role! https://www.geeetech.com/blog/3d-printing-application/3d-printing-design/3d-printing-plays-a-heroic-role-in-2018-winter-olympics/ Sun, 18 Feb 2018 00:20:27 +0000 http://www.geeetech.com/blog/?p=8856 The USA Luge team is using 3D printing in Winter Olympics, its quest for gold.

By 3D printing in winter Olympics these men's won the singles.

With the 23rd Winter Olympic Games underway in PyeongChang, South Korea, Chris Mazdzer became the first U.S. athlete to medal in the men’s singles. The Minnesota-based branch of the company has done its Olympic duty.  By lending its FDM technology to prototyping and tooling the fastest sled possible. 3D printing winter Olympics is amazing, isn’t it? let’s have a look at it!

Stratasys partnered with the team to 3D print molds for customized parts. Therefore, the team then implemented into sled prototypes. The quick pace of the turnaround of new molds enabled. The team to make quick changes to sleds and experiment with new designs closer-than-ever to the start of the competition. Two U.S. athletes, Justin Krewson and Andrew Sherk of the men’s doubles. I even used some of the 3D-printed molds for parts on their sleds during competition at PyeongChang.

3D printing to the demands of the Luge

Luge is a sport involving one- or two-person sleds. Therefore, can reach speeds of nearly 90 miles per hour. Athletes race face-up and feet-first down an icy track. They steer the sled by either using their calves to flex the runners or by using their shoulders to shift their weight.

When a sled part is being made, a mold, also called a tool, is created to form the part’s shape. Any design change in the sled calls for a new tool. Hence, which can normally take several weeks to create.

One of the biggest advantages of using 3D printing is customization. Traditionally, athletes would all use one generic sled. Now sleds can be made as long or as wide as an individual athlete and in a fraction of the time.

“We need precision and we also need the ability to make tweaks and 3D printing. Is where it’s at for this kind of thing,” said Gordy Sheer, marketing director for USA Luge and a 1998 doubles luge silver medalist. “As we learn more about aerodynamics and optimizing our designs. Therefore it’s nice to be able to have the ability to make those changes quickly.”

It is not the first time that 3d printing gives an Olympic athlete a chance to compete:

In 2016, Brooks Running and FATHOM were come together to prototype a pair of personalized sprinting shoes featuring 3D printed spike plates for American decathlete Jeremy Taiwo.

3d Printing For Footwear

Creating a spike plate with the correct flex, stiffness, and rebound is critical to a fast start and sustained speed. For a track and field athlete, especially a decathlete. In order to test a design, shoe manufacturers would traditionally rely on injection or compression molded parts. A process that takes a long time to prep and produces. Just getting from concept to prototypes to manufactured parts can take up months. Therefore, especially if there are design changes that affect the production tools.

By leveraging a blended approach, using 3D printing early on in development. Hence, all the way through production, teams are drastically compressing product development timelines and reducing the total cost of ownership. The companies are making products better and faster for their customers.

People Doing Marathon using 3D printed shoes in winter olympics

It goes to show there is a big market for 3D printed shoes. Although it may take some time until all consumers see the merit of purchasing such a pair. There are many companies available who will help you in getting the shoe exactly as you want. Hence, there is a lot of buzz going around the 3D Printed industry and everyone wants to make a mark of its own.

]]> DIY!! 3D Printed Ergonomic Keyboards for the Uncompromising Typist… https://www.geeetech.com/blog/3d-printing-application/3d-printing-design/diy-3d-printed-ergonomic-keyboards-for-the-uncompromising-typist/ Thu, 08 Feb 2018 22:31:28 +0000 http://www.geeetech.com/blog/?p=8654 If you are a mechanical geek you surely might be having insights about the  Reddit Mechanical Keyboard community.

Yeah, a whole community just talking, making, and sharing their split keyboards!! Now the question that arises is why we need a mechanical keyboard. Most manufacturers make keyboards from one circuit board and use what many describe as mushy buttons. A mechanical keyboard uses individual switches on each key and many people claim it is not only much more satisfying to type but also more accurate and faster.

Mechanical keyboards are not very common but there is a community that loves making their keyboard. Some people get kits and assemble them or all the parts and fix them properly and some 3D Print the framework and attach the required electronics. When it comes to customizing the keyboards, DIY works the best and so here are the Keyboards you can print out.

Dactyl Keyboard

The Dactyl keyboard contains two distinctly curved keyboard segments, it sounds a little weird and is a little weird but Dactyl Keyboards are the future. Dactyl, the name itself refers to an object curved to fit the natural shape of the hand, so it’s almost like an optimized version of an ergonomic keyboard.

The Developer of the keyboard is Matt Adereth, he is a tool and infrastructure builder and a mad keyboard collector. Now the good thing is it’s also a mechanical keyboard. Over the decades you might have noticed the clicking sounds and physical satisfaction have decreased, that’s because the IBM-type classic keyboards have phased out, instead, we are all using less expensive, spill-proof keyboards packed with rubber membranes that do all the work for us.

The Dactyl keyboard is inspired by the  Kinesis Advantage. “The layout is very similar [to that of the Kinesis Advantage] and quite comfortable. I’ve got the thumb cluster a little closer and angled and I think it makes it nicer. The only problem right now is the lack of palm rest, which some ergonomics folks think is a good thing. I’m working on one next,” he tells his fans. If you’re interested, you can build one of these amazing keyboards yourself with the help of Matt’s GitHub files, but there isn’t a detailed guide available. The best 3D printers for printing this keyboard are available at Geeetech.

Keyboardio

If you are an uncompromising typist and spend most of the hours on the computer then this is just the right keyboard for you. It is one of the heavier keyboards in the list which is made of wood and adds a character to your keyboard. It ages gracefully without looking dirty and a slob.

The company mills the Model 01’s enclosure from two blocks of solid maple and uses mechanical key switches similar to those found in the original Apple II. The keycaps are all custom sculpted, and the 64 keycaps make fingers guide to the right key. The base keyboard can be laid flat, split, tented, or set up tripod style.

Other features include fully programmable LEDs, true N-key rollover (NKRO) which is for folks who need to press more than 6 keys at once, and application-specific macros. The high-quality key switches make the soul of the keyboard lively. Get to know more about Keyboardio and print it out by yourself.
